Using the Menu System

- Specify the track order on a disc (page 34)

Access to many of the less commonly used functions of the system is via a menu system. Each component (CD player, tuner, tape deck, auxiliary, and MD recorder) has it's own set of menu options, but access to all of them is from the MENU button. If you worked through the last section, you'll have already used the menu system when you switched between mono and auto FM reception, or switched Dolby NR on/off.
